Recipe Amaretto Shrimp Almandine (Pasta)
Home Cooking Recipes
Required Ingredients:
- 1 pound angel hair pasta
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- salt
- 1 pound medium shrimp - peeled and deveined
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup honey
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup amaretto liqueur
Preparing/Cooking:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
- Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
- Place flour in a bowl and season with a pinch of salt.
- Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until bubbling.
- Dredge the shrimp in the flour a few at a time, and place in the skillet.
- Work as quickly as possible, as the shrimp will cook very quickly.
- Cook shrimp only part way, about 1 or 2 minutes.
- Remove to a paper towel lined dish, and set aside.
- Stir in the honey and almonds, return to a simmer, and cook 2 to 3 minutes.
- Very carefully pour in the Amaretto.
- Light a match, or even better, a long wooden skewer.
- Holding your hand away from the flame and to the side of the pan, ignite the Amaretto.
- This will quickly burn off the alcohol and speed the reduction process.
- Lightly boil for 2 minutes to reduce.
- Return the shrimp and pasta to the skillet, and toss together until heated through.
